View Full Version : Thankyou Orgers
:(I would like now to thank all the orgers who have sent me such comforting private messages during the past 9 months while "himself" battled with lung cancer here at home with such courage and his usual humour.Himself was orger Robby50x. I have spent most nights on here for an hour or two and felt i had company and friends and thank you all for that.
Robby had never been in hospital until he went to Raigmore for chemotherapy after being diagnosed with advanced terminal cancer in February. The care he received at home in wick from his local gp, who I know i cant name but his wife recently had their second child!! was superb. The macmillan carer whose name starts with J was such a great help and friend to us and did so much for Robby and myself. the district nurses were wonderful and their visits and care were so much appreciated. We both felt so lucky that robbie received such excellent care, and words can never thank them all enough.It was down to all of them that robbie lived past his "sell by date" as he called it.
Robbie died here at home in comfort on Wednesday evening, with his brother, myself and my daughter beside him. the heartbreaking thing was that his sister had been by his side all day and left for a short while to collect their other sister from the Orkney ferry, but they got back here ten minutes after robby died, this was so tragic and we had begged him to hang on for a while longer but it was not to be.
Robby was 53 and was known by many, he came from Watten and worked as a glass blower for many years. He was a wonderful man.I am so lost without him.
His funeral will be held in wick Old Parish church on Saturday at 1.45. He is resting here at home.
Thankyou all for your comfort over the last few months. xx

Fran, the last six months cannot have been easy for either you or those around you. It's not easy knowing what's happening and being unable to prevent it, you and your family have my sympathy.

Fran,
I am very sorry for your loss, stay strong xx
Fran, I only met Robbie once; a gentleman with a kind sense of humour...may your memories be happy ones.
Robbie took on cancer head on and made well beyond his given life expectacy. I know that he was brave but he could not have got as far as he did with your amazing courage.
He is sadly missed but at least he is a peace now. In your grieving know that we are every grateful for your caring and kindness you showed Robbie.
Thank you for being there for him.
Fran, you know my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Thankyou all so much on behalf of myself and Robbies family for your lovely messages. I have read them often and find them such a comfort. Thankyou to Moira who came round to my house with flowers, how lovely and very kind of her. you certainly help me to not feel alone, though of course I am and i am finding it very hard. I am missing him terribly and sometimes cant accept he is no longer here.
Thank you all my orger friends.
I just wish I could post a picture of Robbie here but I dont know how to do it, Robbie always did that kind of thing for me and i was stupid not to ask him to show me. im sure I will learn in time!
Thankyou, with my love to you all, Fran and Robbies dog, Bobby who is pining for him. xx
From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for what you did for Robby throughout his illness. I cannot find the words to express myself but hope you do realise how much we all appreciated what you did. Rob was cared for in the most fantastic way by you and i know how much he appreciated you cos he told me on more than one occasion. Will see you very soon. Love Sally XXX
